I Can't Overstate How Dire This Is | Bret Weinstein, The Rubin Report
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Bret Weinstein about the decline of enlightenment liberalism, whether tribalism is Western civilization’s future, why Western civilization has been reversing course on racial equality, the missteps of the New Atheists and the challenge of reconciling past wisdom with modern problems, the societal consequences of rapid progressivism, the arbitrary nature and pointlessness of a lot of our education, the unintended impacts of discarding established norms, the human tendency to focus on immediate problems while avoiding thoughtful analysis to avoid unintended chaos, the need for a balanced approach that respects both conservative and progressive instincts in societal evolution, Elon Musk's unexpected role in the Twitter free speech battle, his personal meeting with Musk and Musk subsequently blocking him, and the challenges faced by individuals who have strengths like courage and insight but who struggle to collaborate effectively
It touches on the death of the classic "liberal", and how the Left seems to be reorienting itself in a much less liberal direction.
